I call upon you in a troubling moment. There has been a...development in our rescue of races taken by the Quall. We expected to find mostly Agelis and Children of the Falosini in this stage of our incursion. However, 45.4% of those we have rescued have been EEF soldiers. There are 300 of them.

We are in the process of debriefing them, but this has disturbing implications regarding your active treaties. The Quall are performing a major incursion on our Reclamation Citadel, and your soldiers are hungry for vengeance. If you wish, we can send you these soldiers quickly to preserve their safety and ensure that you have no active presence in this battle. Alternatively, if you wish to throw your lot in with the Trilat in our attempts to save the lost species, we would be happy to have your assistance. If you do wish to join us, please coordinate with us as you are able. The battlespace will be quite chaotic, with hundreds of thousands of units in play.

Honestly this is not entirely unexpected. The Quall made a few landings during the abortive IR invasion of Refuge in the middle of the last spat of the Boarder Wars. Thats probably when most of my troopers you've recovered were implanted. If they wish to rejoin the EEF I'd ask that you provide them a way to or allow us to retrieve them. However any of them who want to remain with you and fight are welcome to as far as I'm concerned. If need be I'll see that they get supplied with gear. I have a treaty with the Iron Republic high command not the Quall Hive queens but regardless of that these people are all technically KIA anyway and so aren't currently bound by that treaty anyway since they aren't EEF again unless they report to their units. As for further EEF involvement its something that I'm working on with the Colonial Authorities. Some of them are perfectly happy to have you and the Quall fighting it out on Krypos. However I may be able to offer to some aid regardless of them. As you I'm sure know the EEF employs are growing number of Uth Velor and Pelebor known as the Fallen Legion. They are not considered under the normal command structure and so don't fall under the civilian over sight my other RCTs do. If you'd have them I could dispatch them to you. They wouldn't be able to fight openly as EEF at this time but I don't think that would trouble them overly. They are tough disciplined troops and you're not likely to find anyone with more experience fighting Quall. They can be ready to move inside of one day. Also I've considered your offer of shared research very carefully and I think we can send some science teams your way and perhaps a few of the cloning techs form Saragaso. The fallen legion and the reclaimed troops could provide security for them. I'll prepare things on this end let me know what you decide.

I believe that we have come up with a solution to the Quall problem that does not involve a war of attrition. We have great experience in making biological super computers, and so can hack the Quall hivemind. From there, we can remotely rescue the hosts of Quall by removing the filter which makes their host memories seen as non self. Further, we may be able to force remote regression using the same link and creative portal creation. This will effectively end the dominance of the Quall, if we can do this properly.

It will take some time and effort to set this up. If you are willing to work in good faith,we would be pleased to have some of your operatives involved in our freeing races taken by the Quall. Further, the Quall hivemind will be aware of this threat we plan, as a huge awareness enters their collective mind. If my allies will allow it, would you help us defend the isle against further incursions?

Additionally, the Iron Republic is very distracted by our efforts. If you wish to expand the scope of your revolution, we would say that now is the time.

Further, there is a new fiend of Warmonger we would like to destroy as soon as possible. Would you be interested in helping us destroy/imprison it quickly?

Lastly, our general has told us you would like Builders to repair your Refuge based factory. We would be happy to help you optimize your production.

That is all very encouraging news. Though I'd guess the appearance of this greater fiend has put a damper on things. Once that problem is sorted out I'd like to finalize the details of these other matters if thats agreeable. We'd contribute some of our cloning engineers as well as. You'll find they're very adept at storing and retrieving memories as well as operating clone vats. There also at least one VLAD agent who is very eager to offer his expertise. He's a member of the Tyr'ani with some experience with ancient cultures. The science detachment will be accompanied by a security force and certain other specialists that General Germin Fe requested if he still has need for them.

It seems that we must call upon you once again. I hope that the time since our last joint mission has treated you well. We require your assistance, and wish to warn you of an impending problem. You may have heard chatter regarding the Fleets of Fate.

We will be frank. They are metatrons who went mad after being separated from their Choir. It is our understanding that they were cast to another dimension by the temporal wormhole; wherin they came to be that dimension's masters. They have come here to conquer the nexus that this plane represents.

One of your agents, Ragman, carried a piece of one of the Metatrons. This makes him invisible to Fate, and ESSENTIAL in the coming operations. The Fleet of Fate benefits from numbers and technology, but that is not their most dangerous weapon. Fate is a prognostication engine, and they use the same algorithim's in order to anticipate events. They will use this to avoid fleet actions where they cannot win, and to attack population centers.

We hope you will help us fight them when the time comes. If you do not, we are not sure if we can win. Even if you do help, I am unsure.

The first I've heard of the fleet of fate was a few days ago when Adimral Yr approached me and requested that the EEF release I AM in order to fight them. This seemed what like setting the lower floor of a house on fire to put out a fire on the roof. Needles to say I was and remain unconvinced that will help the situation. However I did hear her out and what she said, if true has concerned me.

I asked for proof of the claims she made regarding their existance and she has not responed. I must ask the same thing of you. I assume that your station over Druzi Prime has something to do with this threat. If they are as dangerous as you claim I am willing to help you face them,but I will need proof to bring to the Colonial General first. Can you provide any? Or Would your station allow some drone probes to enter the wormhole and gather what intel they can. That will provide the proof I need and they may even learn something worthwhile.

Field Marshall Strykker.ng to do with this threat. If they are as dangerous as you claim I am willing to help you face them,but I will need proof to bring to the Colonial General first. Can you provide any? Or Would your station allow some drone probes to enter the wormhole and gather what intel they can. That will provide the proof I need and they may even learn something worthwhile.

Most of the data I have regarding the Fleets of Fate come from extrapolation. As of yet, we have not engaged them personally. Our long range scans indicate that they are making aa mess of the Polar Expanse, which is a fine indication of the threat they pose. Our scans have been attached to this communication.

As for sending in probes...that would be a profoundly bad idea. The trip is one way, you could not get data out, and it would give Fate metatrons a chance to study your tech, which you do not want.

This aside, we would think you would jump at the chance to take part in this action. Your foe, the Iron Republic, is weakened and distracted. They deal with multiple threats. Is this not the most optimal time to forment your rebellion?

Understand, this is not a request. We are simply trying to understand how rebellions work.

I suppose it is true that a distracted Iron Republic is to my advantage. However I think you have neglected something in your analysis of the situation. For me to "jump at the chance" in the face of no real proof would also require that I trust you and your allies a great deal. Frankly I don't. Also if what you say about the fleet of fate is true its hardly the time for in-fighting. If I start a shooting war with the Iron Republic now it will only leave this reality less able to defend itself from them no matter who wins.

We have worked together in the past and in the face of a clear and present danger I imagine we will again. I have reviewed your scans and if they are real I will agree that they are concerning. You've implied that fate is able to see or at least extrapolate the future. Do you have any idea how accurate they are? Are there others besides Ragman who they can not see?

Must everything be a shooting war with you? We imagine there are many other routes you could take, all whilst helping this reality to defend itself. In fact, much of what you could do would fulfill both ends at the same time. You can harvest the potential energy of wage slaves with a much lower investment than the Unity after all.

This aside, there are only two that cannot be seen by Fate. Captain Axis and Ragman. It is not that they are invisible. Instead, it is that Fate cannot see or easily anticipate their plans. This is infinitely more valuable.

Regarding Gate's prognostication, this is dependant on how well the future fits into established patterns of behavior. The more exposure Fate has to behavioral and tactical data, the more accurate the prognostication.

If you must, send probes to the fleet of fate entry points. See for yourself the danger they pose. You are wise to not trust me.

I think you'd be hard pressed to find a rebellion that didn't turn into a shooting war regardless of what it started as. That however is besides the point. If exposure increases their accuracy is it safe to assume that they will be very accurate when it comes to you and the rest of the Unity?

I'm fairly certain that Ragman can be trusted. Do you have the same feeling about Captain Axis?

I thought it best that I inform you tha I have discussed this matter with Ragman and what he has told me supports your claims. Also he has told me that the Metatrons of Fate have been reaching out to Captain Axis seeking to enlist his aid to their cause. Ragman seems to feel that without whatever powers they have invested in Axis, and the portion Ragman himself has taken Fate is not as strong as it could be and they want that power back. I don't know how far you trust Axis but I felt you should be made told that at the vary least he will bear watching.

Watch Captain Axis? Surely you jest. If he sees fit to join the Fleets of Fate, that is his business. It would likely spell the doom of us all, but I would enjoy our magnificent battle.

However, we doubt this will be the case. The Fleets of Fate offers only power, whilst the Choir of Fate offers him Freedom. The Knight of Fate may be empowered by the Choir, but he also has a mortal perspective. He knows full well the desolate wasteland which a Universe dominated by Fate would become, with all variance reduced to sufficiently low values.

Besides, the less I know of The Knight of Fate's movements the better. Fate's eye rests on me closely, and if I observe Axis, the Metatrons may be able to extrapolate his movements to some minor yet significant degree.

Thank you for the "heads up" though. I do appreciate it, and I look forward to the battles to defend this reality we may join into as a united front.

Well if you feel it isn't worth acting on there isn't anything I can do about it. I just hope assessed the situation correctly. I've heard some chatter that there may be some kind of incursion near one of your Sentential Stations. Is that correct? If so would you mind if I sent at least a few assets to at least observe. That would provide the information I need to satisfy myself show the Colony General the truth. I can have other ships on stand by to join in the defense once I've seen enough.

I apologize for the delay in responding to you, my network has been having some difficulty reaching your holdings. There may be elements in the Unity attempting to disrupt our communications, which is mildly alarming.

Thankfully, we have pushed back the first wave of assets sent by the Metatrons of Fate. I've attached some unaltered scans of the battle, to give you an idea of the stakes. Thankfully, Captain Axis had the first wave well in hand. Our assets on the field are designed with synergy in mind, giving us the ability to avoid eventualities that would otherwise make confrontation moot.

Your assistance in fending off the counter-assault would be ideal. Particularly, I will need Ragman's assistance in closing the primary Temporal wormhole, and in perhaps destroying the heart of their invasion. Would you and yours be open to such a joint assault?

Further, my proposal to perform joint military exercises is still open. I have a need to test some prototype armor units, and we hear there is a battle-planet open for business. How do you feel like a friendly exercise?

It seems, from the reports I've gotten that I was wrong about Captain Axis. I am honestly glad that's the case. You may have stopped them at your battle station but it seems a large number of other systems were taken. After this I am ready to say that the EEF will do what it can to help you and the IR stop the Fleet of Fate. I haven't had a chance to discuss it with him yet but I plan to have President Ragman take the lead on this matter. Not only are they unable to read him but I know he has been doing work on controlling and closing wormholes. I do not believe he has managed that yet, but a recent status report he gave me shows encouraging progress.

As for a the joint exercise. I suppose there's no harm in going a round or two in Battle City. Did you have a particular type of engagement in mind? As in unit make up and size? No weapons of mass destruction I hope.

As you may have noticed, I find most weapons of mass destruction to be distasteful. I much prefer the elegance of precision weaponry or melee. There were actually a few battles I had in mind.

First, Unity emissaries have a need for additional training in working in tandem with other warriors. As I know that the EEF has incredibly skilled single operatives, I thought we could begin with squad based melee. I have some warmonger's dead that could act as the opposition. They have been enjoying my tests, but would appreciate a change of pace.

Once the exercise is done, I will need to test a large new mobile war frame design similar to the powered armor used by brethren. If seneschals in these frames could battle EEF squads, we could get in some excellent preliminary battle data.

We are glad to hear you will join against the fleets of fate. I would suggest contacting the Iron Republic, as the incursion is in their space.

Just establishing some early ground rules that's all. I suppose the exercises you have a mind could prove instructive for us both. I assume these would be live fire exercises which is acceptable to me. Perhaps for the first one a regular squad supported by oni's and wraiths. How many Warmongers dead will you be sending? And for the second a group of goliaths and onis to test your new powered armor. Are there any ground rules you'd like to set before we move on?

I have been contacted by Su Maehl to aid in the defense of Unity Core from the Fleets of Fate. However my question is about the Morning Star Station and the Dragon of Unity both of which I understand are at Unity Core and are attempting to dock with it. Are they in leauge with Fate? If so do you have any ideas to counter them along with the FoF incursion? If they were destoryed what if any effect might it have on the Unity connected? I supposed whatever threat they present is minor compared to the Fleets of Fate but I am concerned.

My fondest congratulations on a battle well won. We have struck an incredible blow against the Warmonger and the Fleets of Fate both. I apologize for the delay in my responses or well wishes to you. The aftermath of the battle has left me somewhat incapacitated.

If you are interested, I still very much want to perform those war games we discussed earlier on the battle planet. I am planning a massive fleet action to clean up some E-strain planets at present, but would you still be interested in the joint operations training that we discussed next week?
